It cannot be stressed enough that Bigbrained smart boy Jordy P got so mad at vegetarianism and veganism being actual practical dietary choices that he ate himself into a coma on an insane all beef diet against all medical advice.

Nah the two are completely unrelated, other than the all-beef diet and the "Just pay Dr. Nick to put you into a coma to avoid benzo withdrawals" were both the idea of his daughter.

The closest thing to an actual real life "These days, if you say you're English..." pub rant I heard was from a guy who was convinced that "these days, if you call the police to report a crime, you can't say even that it was a Lithuanian that did it, otherwise you get done for racism." I mentioned that I'd be hard pressed to tell a person's nationality or ethnicity beyond like 'white' or something if they were fleeing a crime scene unless I knew them personally. "Ah, but it's the Lithuanians who are coming here and causing all the crime." Can't even cultivate bizarre ethnic conspiracies about crime and its causes without being called a racist, these days.

While it would be deeply unfair to the people of those nations who have to live here, it would be astonishingly easy to rob these people by putting on a fake moustache, learning a couple of words in whatever Eastern European language you fancy and putting on a crap accent. Hell, you could probably just take off the moustache when you get round the corner and they'd be none the wiser, like a racist, gammony Clark Kent.

Lord of the Llamas posted:Lmao the Tory candidate is so bad the Speccy prefers Binface This is great quote:Londoners, desperate for something that has been utterly lacking from all the major candidates, have scoured Binface’s manifesto and found that amongst the joke policies, there are some not half-bad ones in there. ‘No shop to be allowed to sell a croissant for more than £1,’ has been pounced upon as particularly noteworthy. The fact that maximum pastry pricing is one of the meatier policy announcements in this election says a great deal about the whole campaign to be London’s next mayor. Sounds like a great election coming up. The shitbird speaks: https://twitter.com/GillianMcKeith/status/1385936184430452740

Or "I know you're not supposed to say this these days but <problematic phrase>". I'm certain it's just because I'm white and have a fairly posh English accent. I am also white and have an unfortunately very posh English accent and I get this fairly regularly too. I remember an anniversary meal being rather sullied - we went out to a locally renowned traditional ex-coaching inn. It February, there was snow on the ground, a big log fire in every grate. Like having dinner in a Quality Street tin picture. Meal over, we asked if we could have tea and dessert in the snug room that was also the waiting/reception area for the restaurant. While we were enjoying our drinks, a couple in their 50s or 60s came in and sat down while their table was made ready. I have never experienced a conversation going from zero to fascist in so little time. This is, as close as I can remember it, verbaitm:  : This is nice isn't it? : Yes it is. We're lucky to have it just down the road. : Yes you are. We're from Kent and we get away as much as possible because where we live is full of foreigners and [GRT-related slur]  Then they proceeded to talk at us about how there were too many (foreign) lorries on all the roads, and how they had voted for Brexit specifically so the lorries wouldn't come down their road anymore (possibly making them one of the few Leave voters to get exactly what they wanted...), how Kent was - to judge by their description - just a dense sea of traveller's sites, immigration centres, homeless camps and B&Bs full of quote-unquote 'asylums' and undergoing some sort of violent crime wave that would make inner-urban Detroit in the 1980s seem like Henley-on-Thames. It's so frustrating that it's generally seen as acceptable to have a good moan about tabloid target demographics without so much as a by or leave to strangers you encounter in public, but if I was to disagree with them in equally forceful tones and language I'd be the rear end in a top hat for being 'argumentative'. As it was I just stuck to occasionally saying "I really don't think that's true" or "it's not their fault - it's [government policy]" until they either ran out of reactionary talking points or realised that we weren't up for a back-slapping bigotry session.

as a 10-year-old who had totally bought into the THE MILLENIUM hype and saw the adverts i badgered my dad into taking me down to london to see the dome. looking back it was kinda crap from what i remember and probably not worth forcing my dad to take me 400 miles down the country but i definitely had bad enough taste to enjoy it at the time

Surprised gillian mcceith is still a thing, though she was drummed out of UK mediasphere after it came out she that she wasn't actually a doctor. Edit: millennium anecdote, spend it working as a taxi controller in a manky portacabin for £3 pH. At midnight the computer system actually crashed totally and we had to old school it with post it notes on a big map. Called the owner who refused to believe that it happened because the y2k bug was just a big hoax obviously. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Apr 24, 2021 |
